Stigma Fighters is an organization dedicated to spreading awareness about mental health issues in high schools and colleges around the United States.

We all know the familiar bible story of David defeating the giant, Goliath. When we read it and reread it we find ourselves cheering David on even though we know how the story will end, David would kill Goliath. Today I want to look at this biblical victory and I want us to apply it to the giants in our own lives. What do you do when you're standing between your GOD and your giant? What do you do when you're in the midst of a process amd a promise? What do you do when your giants harrass you and you feel as though you have no hope? What do you do when your "prophetic word" comes with "spiritual warfare? It had been prophesied that David would become King, anointed by Samuel in the midst of his brothers ( 1\ Sam. 16:13). But David went through hell and back before the prophetic act became a reality. In fact, he was almost immediately taken from his home and assigned to become the then-King Saul’s armor-bearer. In the next breath, he was facing the battle of all battles with the giant Goliath. David knew that he could defeat Goliath because the same God who gave him the power to defeat a lion and bear earlier, was the same GOD who would give him the the power to defeat any giant in his life. What giants are you before you today? Are you facing them or fearing them? Are you running towards them with courage and confidence or are you retreating back from them with despondency and defeat? I don't know what your giants are but I do know who God is. Your giants may be powerful but God is ALL POWERFUL! You may be facing giants of depression, lack, adultery, pride, greed, lies, divorce, etc but sticking your head in the sand and not dealing with it is not going to help you but harm you. You can't conquer what you won't confront and you won't defeat what you deny. It's time to face the goliath that's been harrassing you for years and slay every spirit sent to kill your destiny

On March 6th, 2014, Part III will examine the current situation and question if the actions of Boko Haram are getting better or worse and if Nigerian has been successfully dealing with Boko Haram.

The panel will examine the failures on success following Dr. Katch's recount of Boko Haram's history and the current situation on ground. Some of the failures include: Training of young child soldiers and Suicide bombing while some of the successes include the recapturing of Baga where Boko Haram destroyed and killed so many people, coordination of activities between Chad, Cameroon, and Niger with American support, and confidence and morale-boosting visit of the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant-General Kenneth Minimah.
